- LONGER LIFE FOR FEMALES
Urinary infections and breast cancer, which are fatal in roughly 50% of fremale dogs, are best prevented from spaying or neutering your dog.
- HEALTHIER MALES
If spayed or neutered before six months of age, testicular cancer can be prevented in male dogs.
- AVOID GOING INTO HEAT
Female dogs going into heat can mean dealing with blood, less urination control, and unruly socializing with uneutered males. Females usually go into heat once every 7 months for three weeks.
- MALES KEPT SAFE
When females are in heat their hormones attract male dogs in their local area. Males that are not spayed or neutered will dig and roam as far as they can to catch the scent females give off.
- BETTER BEHAVIOR
If not spayed or neutered, dogs tend to be more interested in finding a mate than playing with the family, or they can’t help but mark their territory by spraying intense-smelling urine all over your house. Neutering early can even prevent the aggression that comes along.
